176 – Are we in a hurry?
‘Just point your finger at them guys…’
Five women turned their heads at the same time and looked at me, as if they were watching a scene from a horror movie. In particular, Ham Eun-young, dressed in all black while holding a hand mirror, amplified the fear. I’ll definitely find out what the hell that damn hand mirror really is someday.
‘But Eun-young doesn’t say a word all day. It’s amazing, really.’
When I was not showing any reaction, Bae Joo-ah, who was quietly sweeping away the water droplets on the beer glass, said as if realizing something really surprising.
“Wow! There’s a skeleton soldier in front of me with stealth and search!”
“Ah…!”
When Yeon-hee saw Joo-a’s exaggerated action, her eyes widened as if a puzzle had been put together in her head.
I shrugged my shoulders, letting you know that the decision wasn’t in my power. I think it’s better to get rid of this messy tail quickly, but the master may have a different opinion.
The others must have noticed that I passed the ball, so they turned their eyes from me to Yeon-hee and waited for her mouth to open.
‘Isn’t it strange that you’re trying to look at the monster’s reaction in the first place?’
Am I strange to have such a question?
As I was tilting my head, Yeonhee swallowed her saliva and said.
“Maybe… Uh, what danger…”
Our schedule has always been focused on dungeons. Occasionally, at the request of the association, they work in the city center, but most of them are fighting against monsters.
However, this case was something that could happen with a considerable probability of contact with a person. Even entering someone else’s house is illegal.
Judging by Yeonhee’s style, who has lived an honest life, she may not have been willing to do it.
That’s why he’s probably trying to get rid of his anxiety a little by tapping the stone bridge like that.
To Yeonhee’s question, Helen neatly rolled up her sleeves and answered.
“As I said earlier, we can’t rule out unexpected encounters with Heo Min-sol, or a possible collision with a bodyguard. It’s work.”
“Isn’t it okay to meet Heo Min-sol? He must be in a state where his fighting power is lower than that of ordinary people.”
She didn’t really care, but Helen said right away that she didn’t.
“If you’re going to kill me as soon as I meet you, I’d rather go looking for a b*tch named Heo Min-sol, but are you going to do that?”
……
Arin, who was silent for a moment, shook her head. She was the one who suffered severely from Heo Min-sol, but even when I crippled her, she was the one who looked up at me with a complicated expression, wondering if this was a bit excessive. There would have been no option to kill in the first place.
“So. If you’re not going to kill him, Heo Min-sol shouldn’t find out. Now, everyone in the know knows that Il-wol is Yeon-hee’s summoner, but Yeon-hee, who will become a member of the White Knights Guild, tried to assassinate a promising player from the Ilsom Guild? It won’t just be a personal matter, will it?”
Nope…
Everyone naturally folded their arms at Helen’s opinion. This is not a simple matter to think about.
“Is there any possibility that there is a barrier in the house?”
“Once you look at the size of the house, you can tell if it’s a corner of the house that can have that level of magic at all times. If you’re that rich… You might be a bit tired. First of all, buy yourself a few days. I’ll sort it out for you.”
‘I don’t know if they’ll change their plan right now and do it tomorrow.’
“Hmm… It’s been a few days. I can’t do it. Arin, come and sleep with us for a while.”
“Huh? That, I guess… Won’t they harm our younger siblings by any chance?”
“As long as there is no bounty on Mr. Arin’s younger brother, it can be said that there is no such thing. I don’t know if they don’t have the ability, but it’s not efficient to do such dirty things.”
“Right? Phew…”
While breathing a sigh of relief, Joo-a looked at A-rin with beads of sweat on her forehead, and then continued the question.
“But according to what they say, they will be attached to Arin from the day after tomorrow. Wouldn’t it take care of it if I just wait and destroy the Apex guys a few times?”
Helen opened her mouth again, saying that was not the case either.
“A few guilds, including the Apex Guild, carried out sloppy requests, so people don’t think about it that way, but in fact, from their point of view, it’s honor.”
‘Honor to those guys… In a way, it’s true.”
“Think about it. It’s only a 5-1 billion won request. They keep failing until they give up on the request? Do you think they’ll let it happen? The competition in the shadows is fierce, but it’s all the same. Apex says it handles things that way. If it becomes known, the clients will look elsewhere, right? It’s a problem that could jeopardize the rise and fall of the guild.”
“Even if we block the attack, you’re saying we’ll finish the quest somehow. By all means.”
“I think so. If you really think that you can’t do it by force, you might use the method Arin-san worried about earlier.”
After listening carefully to the conversation, Yeon-hee eventually agreed to use me.
It was decisive that I nodded her head slightly to her troubled woman while looking into her eyes, but if she said she didn’t like it, she really couldn’t force anyone.
“Thank you! Heh… I keep getting it.”
“No. Don’t think like that.”
Yeon-hee said as if she really didn’t care, and Helen looked at Yeon-hee who was taking care of A-rin with all her heart, then hugged her and rubbed her for a while as if she couldn’t stand it.
Anyway, I decided to do it as soon as Helen contacted me. It’s 3 days at the earliest. Then, for three days, Nargul’s dungeon became difficult to challenge. I can’t just challenge a tight spot and get attacked when I’m weak.
‘I’m bringing scraps of paper, it’s a piece of cake.’
I also hid in Jo Ki-man’s house. Of course, that was his trap, but…
Rather, those with the ability to detect were annoying, but the barrier technique, which detects a certain area while being fixed, did not pose a threat to me.
After a big dinner, we ended up drinking iced americano without fail.
“By the way, what should Noh Ha-yoon do?”
Bae Joo-ah asked Yeon-hee again with an expression that she would just refuse. Just by looking at her expression, it felt like she really didn’t want to be with Noh Ha-yoon, but considering her personality, she should see that as acting. It is a Nargul dungeon that is said to be as expensive as a C-class higher dungeon. You want to go in and experience it as soon as possible.
“Yeah… Until Arin’s job is finished, I want to go around the Orc dungeon… After that, I want to try Nargul. Actually, I don’t think it was that easy today… Even if Ha Yoon came, , If we run out of power, it will only cause trouble… And it will be difficult to explore.”
“Well… The orcs were unexpectedly strong. No, I heard that orcs have become stronger these days, but I didn’t expect them to be this level. Especially the mid-level warriors from the boss fight…”
“Yes, yes.”
“Are you planning to enter Nargul’s dungeon? It’s been a week since you’ve reached D-class?”
Helen and Jinkyung listened to the conversation and looked at us with shocked expressions. Certainly, the speed of climbing the dungeon was steep.
In general, it is common to accumulate experience in wolf dens and harpy dungeons for a month or more before moving on. We just watch it for a while and move on to the next, the next, and the next.

“Is there any reason why you’re in such a hurry? I felt it when we were going through the dungeon together… But as if I was being chased by something.”
“Yes? No… Nothing like that…”
From the perspective of the people around me, it was a strange thing.
Growing up safely while earning money, using the funds to adjust equipment one by one, building a reputation, finding talented party members, and working together- it’s because there is such a manualized route.
Helen didn’t say anything, but she must have had a hard time following us. However, Yeon-hee was always the center of the party, and once Yeon-hee cleared the boss battle, she naturally moved on to the next dungeon, so it was only flowing like this.
“I’m going a little fast…?”
“It’s not a little bit, it’s a lot faster. In fact, it’s a level where we can accumulate more experience points in the Harpy Dungeon. At our current level, even if we die there for about 5 days, the level will rise two or three more times.”
“Ah… That’s right.”
Actually, this was my intention, so I pretended not to know. It was because I was the one who insinuated Yeon-hee to go to the next dungeon whenever we talked about the dungeon in her notebook.
‘It’s okay to take a little risk.’
The results were proving it. Because we were growing faster than anyone else. I knew from experience that growth comes only when you go through situations that are moderately close to a crisis.
And that’s a well-known fact, but the fact that a person has only one life is always a hindrance to risking a dungeon exploration.
So, in places like large guilds, there were hunters who only served as helpers for important dungeons for promotion. Even if you go in with a little effort, there are people who will help you in the last crisis situation. You can try it with peace of mind.
The system had god-like abilities, but there was also a laxity in not being able to figure out such a trick.
Even though Yeonhee muttered to herself, ‘Is that so…’, She didn’t seem to have any intention of changing what she had been doing.
“If I try it again tomorrow, I think I’ll come out with an angle. To be honest, the people I played the boss with today were too… Low level.”
“There are a lot of abnormalities happening all over the world these days. Hunters must have become impatient as they keep hearing such news.”
“I heard that the ratio of hunters is increasing as accidents happen.”
“I don’t know if this will lead to a world where everyone wakes up. Yesterday, there was an article about an 80-year-old man waking up. If you think the opposite, young children might wake up.”
“Really? Little kids want to be in control…”
“So, it’s going to be a real disaster. Imagine using a skill with kids who aren’t sensible yet.”
‘Oh… The more I see Helen, the more amazing I am.’
Helen was predicting what would happen in the future almost at the level of a prophet. Is it also about age? Anyway, she is also in her 30s, Helen.
After that, it was time for her to part with Helen after sharing some more stories about her honeymoon.
“They… Will the two of you be all right?”
As we prepared to part ways outside the store, we stopped for a moment at Yeonhee’s worried question.
Jua and Arin looked at each other for a while and then said.
“Well, it’s dangerous if you decide to attack. But since it’s an apartment only for hunters, it’s well-prepared, so you should be able to buy some time to escape. And I think it’s more of a problem when you’re moving than at home…”
“Um… Then can I see you?”
“Eh…?… Puff… Puff!”
Yeon-hee asked because she was genuinely worried, but for some reason Joo-a and A-rin burst into laughter as the situation forced them to laugh.
“If it’s really dangerous, I’ll ask. Then.”
“Yes… Be careful going in.”
Yeon-hee and I couldn’t leave immediately and watched them go for a while.
Even if two people are missing, eight people. If the Apex guys decide and attack, those two will have a hard time surviving.
‘It’s safe to sleep at home, but…’
